A weatherman made the most painfully awkward sex joke live on air

Here's something that will make you feel better about every bad joke you've told: a weatherman had a joke fail, too. About a dog. On live TV.

It all began on Wisconsin's NBC 15, during an animal adoption segment which showed morning-show anchor Christine Bellport gushing over an adorable German shepherd. As she passed the spotlight over to meteorologist Charlie Shortino for a weather report, she told him: "I'm just going to sit here and hang out with my new best friend."

But, Charlie took it too far, you guys. He replied: "Really? I think you… You two should get a, uh, hotel room or something. That's a lot of action going on over there."

There were some chuckles, and Christine shrieked, "Oh, Charlie!" He could have got away with it. Until he added: "Really? I think you… You two should get a, uh, hotel room or something. That's a lot of action going on over there."

*face palm* *tumbleweed*

Upon hearing total, complete and utter, painful silence in response to 'quip', Charlie had a good peer round to check everyone had heard what he said. There's a split where you can see him wondering, 'why is nobody laughing?', before he goes ahead and has a good old LOL at his dog sex joke.

The pain is real. Watch the awkward moment below, and experience alllllll the cringing.
